When did you blokes go through the old pac? A bloke got taken off his bike at the northern end (gosford) and wasnt in good shape so the road had to be blocked. Most bikers come off there because they often cut the corners and clip a car racing the other way, so take it easy on the blind corners :rolleyes:

Get your coils packs checked aswell as your sparkplugs.

k, will do

GTAHH.. yeah there were 2 motorbike accidents that i saw throughout the day on that road..... very sad.

Don't think this is causing the issuethat we are having, main reason we're driving popcorn makers is because of excess fuel (while running very rich) being dumped is igniting in the dump pipe when we back off the throttle from full boost..

cars aren't stuttering or suffering issues with ignition which is a normal indication of coil packs.. if it was a coil pack issue it would most likely be happening when it's wet or higher up in the rev range not 700rpm..

i get the same popcorn sort of noise, but only when ive revved it out a bit past 4k. A bit of excess fuel dribbles into the exhaust and ignites (i assume?)

Did the same thing when the car was stock (but more boost). Definitely not an issue with the coils, because it happens off boost.

Sounds like it could be a common thing in skylines and prob turbo's for that matter.. not helped when it's a hot day either.. as it was on Sunday.. had all the windows down and sunroof open.. was still bloody hot..

what time did people hang around Avoca till?? Stan - how's that video coming along.. I wanna see - make sure you leave some sounds in the background, always nice to hear a turbo spoolin..

I have both problems...lol..

The only popping I ever get is when I push the car to near red-line and then let go of the accelerator - when the revs are coming back down, there is a TINY little 'pop' that goes off :D

It's so tiny I can't even be bothered worrying about it...

yeh i think most skylines get that though.. i also need a powerfc, but dont have the money for it. car runs a lil rough on high boost (11psi)

I'll take you for a ride next time stan and you can listen to my beast.. I'm over it now.. just makes me chuckle everytime.. my mate and i were just laughing about it the whole way up.. Your SAFC2 could be helping to counter the issue..

Man let me get home first :D and Menthu_Rae and I will be looking at this video on Friday - trying to figure out how to lock it down so only WE (SAU Members) can access it :P

EDIT:

Hey Ed I sent it to you last night... haven't you got it yet?

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
